TIE prohibitionists who blew up liquor saloon with dynamite, at Fairmount, Ind. last Friday night, were outlaws, and should be made to understand that the anti-saloon feeling now prevalent in the country, is large ly the outgrowth, of indignation felt at the use of precisely such methods by the rum mics. To be sure the cases are not parallel. A mad dog has not the same right to kill that he has to be killed.

IT has been noticed that in nearly every town. where the Salvation army have been persecuted they have ''stuck" and prospered, and visa versa where they have been protect ed in their rights by public sentiment they have gone to pieces, so that those who wish to perpetuate the organization will show their friendship by stoning and abusing these pen niless if not useful workers. Perhaps wise providence ordains that the wicked towns shall use methods to perpetuate what they much need. Rockville, the Salvationists have made one of their strongholds; Stafford Springs, they have abandoned. .-...{s .<.

 Springfield Republican :: The striking Brooklyn elevated railroad engineers form ally gave up the fight Monday, and are now in search of employment. Many of them applied for their old places only to find them well filled. a Undue arrogance and hot-headed haste on the part of iorga- nized labor reems to have been the trouble here as 1t has been in so many strikes of the period. One or two of the engineers absented themselves from their duties without leave and were discharged. # The brotherhood demanded that they be taken back, and also dictated a lot of rules by which the road was 10 be run. Falling to run the road they struck, and failing in the strike they tried to arbitrate matters. But the company had nothing to arbitrate, and now the men are out of work. The time for arbitration was before, not after the strike. The lessons of the event lie on the surface and will not fail to impress the victims. t..4 l,.ss s-.. ,..-....

On Sunday he paid his respects to Boston ministers as follows "While I was at Salt Lake City a Boston clergyman visited Utah. He was adver- tised to speak, and I thought would go and hear him. I saw him enter the tab ernacle, walking arm in arm with Brigham Young. He preached a. sermon, not against the teachings of Young, butrather in favor of it. When the services were closed he was taken to Brigham's house and introduced to Mrs. Young, and Mrs. Young, and Mrs. Young ClergY1nen who visited Utah were not heard to preach against polygamy until they had reached home." 7t5s 7as3 f5s of . 1'@|fa l

Interest continues lively at New Haven over the contest between ''Old Hiram ''and the Masonic Grand Lodge. Since January sixty-one newmembers have been admitted, including professional men and five or six wealthy contractors. Opponents of Hiram
 claim that this numerical influx of mem bership is largely due to reduction of the iniasion fee from $40 to $10, but this is de- nied by Hiram, although one member is reported to have admitted that while the iniation fee has not been reduced, an ar- rangement had been made whereby one half the amount was contributed from a certain fund, the applicant being required to pay only $20 from his own pocket, al- though $40 was placed in the treasury of the lodge, The withdrawal of the other lodges from the Masonic building, leaves Hiram saddled with $1, 100 annual rent.
 but the treasury is reported in a. plethoric condition. Some feeling is also growing out of the admission into Hiram lodge of members who have been rejected by lodges in regular standing. .+.'. ...5,.7.. -+

THE meeting of the coursing club is
now over and our people are to some
extent aware of the advantages that
will accrue to Great Bend from the
success of this falls meeting. The
good of it will be felt by our town in
years to come, and no regrets need be
felt for what little we have done to-
ward making the meeting Il success.
The gentlemen who have thus far in
terested themselves in the club are
men of means, and straight forward,
business men, who desire to make the
meetings of the club a means of annual
recreation. They are enthusiastic over
the sport and will not fail to tell to
their friends the grand times they have
had, and thus will be awakened Il wide
spread interest in the annual meetings
of the club. If they leave our little
city with good impression of it and of
it's people they will not fail to speak a
good word for us wherever they are.
Between now and the next meeting
will be ample time for our people to
prepare to receive the visitors when
they come, and they will come next
year in largely augmented numbers,
mark the prediction.
